Keep the goals crystal clear, so everyone knows the finish line, then give them the tools to sprint to it, but remember to schedule pit stops. A quick break, a high‑energy check‑in, or a tiny win celebration prevents the burnout spike. Push hard, but also trust the team to pace themselves—when they feel supported, they’ll run that extra mile without crashing. Stay focused, stay disciplined, and let that fire be a flame, not a furnace.
